Dietary Habits Interview
Objective: Assess and document participants' dietary habits through verbal interview
This is a Dietary Habits Interview protocol using human as the model organism. The procedure involves 5 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2016 paper published in Microbiome.
Model and subjects
human • unknown • 18-35 years old
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Participant recruitment and screening • Verbal dietary habits interview • Cardiorespiratory fitness assessment
Primary readouts
- Dietary habits documentation
- Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 peak)
- Stool sample collection
Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Participant recruitment and screening
Recruit healthy young adults between 18 and 35 years old. Apply exclusion criteria: no antibiotic treatment within previous 6 months, no current prescribed pharmaceutical drug utilization, and no active acute or chronic diseases
Note: Exclusion criteria must be verified before enrollment

“Healthy young adults between 18 and 35 years old were recruited. Exclusion criteria included antibiotic treatment within the previous 6 months, current prescribed pharmaceutical drug utilization, or active acute or chronic diseases”
Verbal dietary habits interview
Conduct a verbal interview with participants to assess and document their dietary habits
Note: Interview method and specific questions not detailed in text
View evidence from paper
“All participants were verbally interviewed on their dietary habits”
Cardiorespiratory fitness assessment
Determine cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) using a VO2 peak cycle test
Note: Conducted during lab visit
View evidence from paper
“CRF was determined using a VO 2 peak cycle test”
Stool sample collection kit distribution
Provide participants with a stool collection kit and written instructions for proper sample collection
Note: Distributed following lab visit
View evidence from paper
“Participants were then provided a stool collection kit with instructions”
Stool sample collection by participant
Participants collect and return stool sample following the provided instructions
Note: Sample must be provided within specified timeframe
View evidence from paper
“were asked to provide a sample within a week following their lab visit”
